Additional Information:
Together with the new smartphone and tablet, Google showed the world the Nexus Player set-top box, which was developed jointly with Asus. The console in an unusual round black case is a real multimedia center that combines the widest possibilities for interaction with electronic devices of all kinds: from smartphones to laptops and stationary computers. Nexus Player runs on Android TV and can play videos, music, photos, and also allows you to play games from Google Play Games thanks to a wireless controller. In addition, the console has the ability to voice control through a remote control with built-in microphone.

The controller is not included in the kit and must be purchased separately (the cost of the device). It allows you to play various games from Google Play Games with friends or strangers via the Internet. A number of services will provide services to all users of Nexus Player, in particular, Nextflix, TuneIn, YouTube, TED, Pandora and many others.

The pre-order was opened on October 17, 2014, and the prefix went on sale on November 3, 2014.

What, no one plans to take? :) Having Minix Neo X8-H, I was slightly surprised by the modesty of the filling (1GB + 8GB, ports, lack of LAN, remote control, not a mouse). Well, android tv instead of android 5 is somehow not very.

What is the Nexus on Android TV? Is this device closer to a full-fledged device on which you can install the necessary programs, for example, your favorite browser, AdBlock, etc., or is it a prefix like SmartTV?

* RoyBatty,
Closer to the full android. You can install applications and games, as well as connect various devices

No, it's not a bucket either. Nexus Player’s goals are different.
One of them is ease of use, convenient control of the set-top box using the remote control.

Maybe in the future. Since NP works on Android TV, which is still very raw.
For example, it is not possible to customize the main screen andofficiallyYou can not install the standard Android application on it. And today - applications for Android TVnearlynot.

I advise you not to hurry with the purchase. Today, besides watching YouTube and using Google Play Music, there’s nothing to do with Nexus Player.

And, by the way, for the first time, Nexus has no interface in Russian.

Alas, it is not. Officially, Android standard Android apps are not supported.
But they can be installed. The main problem - with the standard remote from the Nexus can not use them.

The absence of the Russian language - this is very interesting, can I link?
And the question is still tormented by this, is it possible to use this player in the chromecast mode, which in recent times makes me more and more happy
In the zagbugorny reviews, this function is not particularly shown ((

But you can put a normal android! Why did they come up with this TV, it’s not at all clear that it’s better to buy a ready-made Smart TV.

Oddly enough, but for nowEVERYTHING , there are no other languages. And it is unlikely to be soon.

2. Google Cast feature (Chromecast) :
Chromecast in Nexus Player works with a bang!
If you want to replace NP your cute Chromecast with, then feel free to do it.

Again. There is no such possibility yet. And why then even buy a Nexus Player? Buy yourself a Chinese console for the same money.

It should be understood that this is a completely new product that has not even turned a month.
The idea of ​​Google is to develop the Android platform for TV.

p / s: Despite the dampness of the Nexus player, it works very smoothly compared to Chinese products, it does not hang. Very easy to use with one remote.
So far, the only negative is a LARGE lack of applications. But really believe that very soon they will appear.



Rep: (7)
Thank you for the clarification! And one more thing, maybe tell me, the cast function in which resolution goes? Hope not in 720p?

Not tested, but I think as well as on Khromkast.
So it depends on:
Internet speed + + screen resolution + movie resolution = cast function in which resolution goes



Rep: (7)
Why I asked ... At home a fast Internet, a good router, but the chrome-card itself limits the resolution to 720p. And in the American review I saw how a person connects via usb hard and launches the movie in fullhd.
